Types of ED (Erectile Dysfunction / Impotence)


Every patient of Erectile Dysfunction is different with his unique symptoms. For every individual suffering from ED the treatment would depend upon his peculiar symptoms. The “one size fits all” solutions being sold today may really not work for every patient. There may be a history of injury which has triggered the condition in one and sexual excesses in another. Impotence may have conditions of wasting of the testicles or may be accompanied by symptoms of irritability, nervousness, digestive disorders and constipation. In some cases the condition may have developed recently and in other cases it may be of long standing. The line of treatment in each case will depend on the peculiar and complete symptoms accompanying the condition. The dysfunction is not the same in every patient one may have no erections al all and another may have partial but insufficient erections. In most patients the history of past excesses and loss of seminal fluid may be present but we need to look at the age of the patient, overall condition of the mind and body in light of all other accompanying symptoms to arrive at a line of treatment. Here we will look at some of the more common patients that may be found with impotence, their unique symptoms and the treatment available in Homeopathy.

Our first patient is in a state of “nirvana”. There is no desire or ability and he has become lifeless and immobile. The condition is the result of great loss of seminal fluid originally due to injudicious use of the sexual function. It is a condition of real impotence. There is involuntary dribbling of semen during sleep. Prostatic fluid oozes during stool or sitting which results in further loss of strength and capacity. There are no vulgar thoughts and the patient is incapacitated from fulfilling his sexual obligations. Such a patient often responds to Homeopathic remedy "Selenium Metallicum" .

Our second type of patient has extreme desire for embrace with insufficient seminal emissions. He has insufficient erections but is able to penetrate. He is extremely debilitated and suffers deeply after any act of coition. There are profuse night sweats especially as a consequence of embrace. These patients often respond to Homeopathic remedy "Agaricus Muscarius" .

Our third patient has lost all desire for embrace but he feels light and happy during and after an embrace. The penis is relaxed and sexual life is at its lowest. He has vulgar thoughts but they excite no excitement or erections. Sexual desire is completely lost. The testes are cold, swollen hard and painful. The condition is accompanied with self-contempt, melancholia and extreme debility. The seminal fluid is extremely thin. Such patients often respond to Homeopathic remedy “Agnus Castus”.

Our fourth patient is extremely despondent and melancholy. His thoughts often border on suicide. There are no erections and the penis is always relaxed. The testes hang like pendants and are extremely deteriorated. these patients often respond to Homeopathic remedy "Aurum Metallicum" .

Our fifth patient has nocturnal dreams without any lewd thoughts. The impotence is the result of past excesses and is accompanied with involuntary loss of seminal fluid. Such patients often respond to Homeopathic remedy "Caladium Seguinum" .

Our sixth patient has developed the condition from excessive masturbation. Erections are present but are insufficient. There is weakness form indulgence and ejaculation is extremely delayed. Any act or attempt resulting in seminal release brings with it extreme debility of mind and body. Such patients often respond to Homeopathic remedy "Calcarea Carbonica" .

Our seventh patient has developed the condition due to suppression of sexual desire. Such impotence is often found in old bachelors. Mind and memory are feeble they have a pale face and dark circles around the eyes. It is generally the consequence of actions done against the laws of nature. Such patients often respond to Homeopathic remedy "Conium Maculatum" .

Our eighth patient has developed impotence due to great loss of seminal fluid which may not be from over indulgence or masturbation. He is cold, nervous and feeble. He often falls asleep during embrace. The condition is often found in older men who have great desire with vulgar thoughts but cannot have an erection. These patients often respond to Homeopathic remedy "Lycopodium Clavatum" .

Our ninth patient has been milked completely dry and hardly has any seminal discharge during embrace. These patients often respond to Homeopathic remedy "Phosphorus" .

Our tenth patient is young and addicted to masturbation. He often looses seminal fluid without an erection from being in the company of women or looking at them. Such loss of seminal fluid is a typical symptom at any age often corrected by "Conium Maculatum" .

Whenever trying to find a Homeopathic remedy for any condition it is important to refer to a Materia Medica. One needs to go through all the symptoms listed in the text and choose the remedy that completely covers all symptoms, not just symptoms for the particular condition. Please leave a comment if you have a suggestion or need more information.

I have done a lot of research online and offline on the subject. The internet, in my opinion is not a very reliable source for information on Erectile Dysfunction. Quality information is hard to come by. I recently discovered an eBook titled “ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION”. This eBook is an excellent resource of facts and critical information on ED. I have provided a link here. At under $10 it is a real steal.

Here are links to help you buy the remedy you need:
Selenium Metallicum
Agaricus Muscarius
Agnus Castus
Aurum Metallicum
Caladium Seguinum
Calcarea Carbonica
Conium Maculatum
Lycopodium Clavatum
Phosphorus


Masturbation and women

Studies conducted in 1953, 1979 and 2008 show that women masturbate more often than we think. The results of how many women masturbated were 64% in 1953, 74% in 1979 and 92% in 2008. This is what a woman had to say about how often she masturbated.

“I masturbate 5 times a week. Each session lasts 12 minutes with a minimum of 3 orgasms and a maximum of 13 orgasms. I use the Hitachi Magic Wand which is indeed magical, so the act is easier. I make up for the time saved by being greedy with having as many orgasms as possible.”

For women all sexual activity is a full body experience. Unlike men who need penile stimulation, for women masturbation is not just vagina centric. When a woman masturbates she involves her whole body. A woman may easily have an orgasm simply with breast stimulation. Some highly sexed women may orgasm stimulating their thighs. Ancient Indian texts describe why women in India like to ride swings. It is an age old tradition and has a lot to do with sexual pleasure. The movements of a swing create sensations in the genitalia and may even produce orgasm. A woman has sex with her whole body. The belly, buttocks, breasts, legs and arms are as much involved as the vagina and clitoris.

When we talk about women and masturbation, men often picture a woman with a vibrator, pleasing her vagina. But in reality when a woman masturbates she plays with her breasts, touches her belly and would stimulate her whole body. The skin between the anus and the vagina is especially sensitive to stimulus. Unlike men a women can pleasure herself even more with multiple orgasms. Some women say that masturbation puts them in touch with their needs and improves their sex life. Men are not really sensitive to their partner’s needs; all they want is to shoot their load off. However, most men will do what they are asked of in bed, but that can work if the partner knows what she wants. Masturbation help women get there.

Masturbation, like all sexual activity, activates the pleasure centers in the brain and helps relieve stress. For a woman it brings her in touch with her needs and can help her understand how to have better sex with a partner. When she is alone she can experiment with what works for her and what she would want her partner to do. Often women take to masturbation because their partners cannot last or are not sensitive to her needs. But every woman is different some may do it more often than others, some may do it due to frustration others for the pleasure of It.

Men start to masturbate at a very early age but women usually start to masturbate after they enter their teens. Many women do it only after they get sexually active with a partner often after marriage. Women need more time and space for such “sessions”. While men can do it just about anywhere women usually like to set the right mood and prepare their environment. While a male “session” may only last a few minutes a “session” for a woman would last much longer. A man would not want to go on after an orgasm but a woman has just started with the first orgasm. She will have a number and range of orgasms in one “session”.

Popular Pregnancy Tests


There are two basic types of pregnancy tests, Blood and Urine. Here we will discuss tests you can do at home. If you want to know which test to use and how, read on. You should test 3 to 4 days before. If you test too early you may get a false negative, when the test shows you are not pregnant but you are. Test in the morning, pop the stick midstream, set it aside and wait for the result. If you get a negative, test again the next day. If you get a negative but miss a period do test again. Even a faint maybe often means you are pregnant. False negatives are very common.

There are two types of tests available, digital and non-digital. The digital test is easy to read, it simply says pregnant or not pregnant. With non digital tests it is a little more complicated. If you get a faint color or a line you keep wondering if you are pregnant or not. Digital tests are a little more expensive. Pregnancy tests look for a specific hormone which gets easier to detect over time. So if you test too early the possibility of getting a false negative are higher. If you do get a positive, then probably you are, false positives are rare. You do need to confirm a positive with a blood test.

First Response Gold (Digital)
First Response Gold is a digital test. It tests for 2 hormones produced by the body after getting pregnant. It is more sensitive to morning testing. It is taken 4 days before the expected period. You place it in midstream and wait for 3 minutes. A clock shows you the countdown and then a “yes” or “no” appears. A question mark means an error.

First Response Early Result
First response early result is a standard stick test. It is a more sensitive test. The test is taken 4 days before your expected period. Place In the stream for 5 seconds and set it aside for 3 minutes. Two lines means you are pregnant, one line means you are not. Even a faint second line is a positive.

Accu-Clear Early Pregnancy Test
Accu-Clear Early Pregnancy Test is a standard stick test. You take the test the day of your expected period. You need to place the tip in the stream till the tip turns pink. Set is aside of 3 minutes for the result. A line, even a faint one means you are pregnant. The test comes with a good set of instructions.

Masturbation products for men

I'd like to share 2 out of this world, masturbation products I discovered recently.


Marie's Tight Mouth and Molly's Tight Ass


Marie's Tight Mouth and Molly's Tight Ass are a package of two stroking products. The package includes 0.65 Oz of lubricant. I love the products. They feel like a real vagina. The material is smooth and soft like silk and feels like skin. The fit of Marie's mouth is good for me because of my thickness. I can enter even without a full erection.


Youcups electric masturbator


Feels great and the fit is good. The 12 speed vibrator is right for every mood whether you want to come quickly, go slow and enjoy the sensation or let your partner use it on you. The sensations feel great nothing like I have felt before. My girl friend doesn’t like oral sex but loves to use Youcups on me and I think it’s great. Just lay back and let someone else control it and tease you.

If you’ve tried and liked a product do leave a comment.

Coitus Interruptus and contraceptives

 Free Kindle Reading App for mobile phone

Coitus Interruptus is the oldest documented method of contraception. References to the method have been found in texts as old as 500 BC. Coitus Interruptus is also called withdrawal and pull out method. The male partner withdraws from the vagina just before orgasm or ejaculation occurs. It requires self control on the part of the male partner and then it has a 4% failure rate. All modern methods of contraception have a failure rate of 0.3% to 8%. Condoms for example have a perfect failure rate of 2%. The method is still quiet prevalent and is perfect in situations of unplanned sexual encounters. It is often practiced by male partners who do not want their mates to deal with side effects of modern contraception, such as weight gain and mood swings.


There are enough contraception (birth control) options to confuse anyone. Do you use a mainstream pill, an IUD or a progestin only pill? Can you reverse an IUD and a vasectomy? Is the female condom a good option or the male condom? Here are some answers. We discuss 12 popular methods of contraception.




Emergency contraception Buy Here
Popular brands are Plan B and Next Choice
Emergency contraception is an option for unplanned situations. Such pills contain a higher dose of estrogen and progesterone than combination pills. They work best within 72 hours of the episode but may be effective up to 5 days. Plan B is also known as the morning after pill and is available to women over 18. It is available over-the-counter.


Male condom Buy Here
Popular brands of the male condom (or condom) are Durex, Trojan, Okamoto and lifestyles.
Condoms form a protective barrier between the vagina and the penis. They are worn by the male and capture the ejaculate during sexual intercourse and prevent it from reaching the uterus. Condoms not only protect against pregnancy but also against sexually transmitted diseases (STD) and HIV. Condoms are made of various material including latex, polyurethane and lambskin. Lambskin protects against pregnancy but does not work for HIV. Condoms should not be used in combination with oil and hand lotion as it increases the risk of failure. Usually condoms are safe but two in a hundred do fail. They are available in various textures; smooth, rubbed, etc. The down side to condoms is they can only be worn after an erection.

Female condoms Buy Here
Popular brands are Femy, Reality, Long Love and Protectiv
Female condoms protect against STD and pregnancy. They are made of polyurethane or soft plastic. They form a barrier between the penis and the vaginal wall and do not let the ejaculate reach the uterus. Like the diaphragm the female condom is inserted deep into the vagina over the cervix. Unlike male condoms female condoms can be safely put in place for up to twelve hours before sex. Male condoms, however offer better protection with less chances of failure. The material and form of female condoms is not as fine as latex condoms. Some men prefer female condoms as they can be pre inserted. Female condoms also cover more length making it less likely for skin fluid contact.




Combination Pills
Popular brands of the combination pill are LoEstrin 1/20, Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo, Yaz, Estrostep Fe, Ortho-Novum 7/7/7 and Yasmin
This is one of the most popular methods of contraception among women. It needs to be taken exactly in a 24 hour gap and then it is 99% effective. It not only protects against pregnancy but also restores regular menstruation. As a side effect or benefit it eases hot flashes. It should be avoided by women suffering from headaches and migraine. It works best for non smoking women under 35 years of age.

Progestin-only pills
Popular brands of the Progestin-only pill are Nora-BE, Ovrette, Micronor and Nor-QD
Unlike combination pills Progestin-only pills, as the name suggests, do not contain estrogen. They are popularly known as “mini pills”. They do not affect lactation in breast-feeding women. Use progestin-only pills if you are at risk of blood clotting. It is safe for women who smoke, have a heart condition or are diabetic. They have to be taken in a 24 hour cycle. A delay of more than 3 hours affects the effectiveness increasing the chances of failure drastically. Repeated use of a backup plan may not be a healthy choice in the long term.

Extended-cycle Pills
Popular brands are Seasonale, Seasonique and Lybrel
Extended-cycle pills extend the cycle to 90 days and prevent pregnancy. Lybrel extends the period to 365 days but you need to continue to take it every day. It is a new product and there is not enough research to support the safety of extending menstruation for long periods.

Vaginal rings
Popular brand is Nuvoring
The vaginal ring is a flexible plastic ring containing progestin and estrogen. It delivers the combination directly into the vagina. The ring is placed in the vagina for three of 4 weeks. It protects from unwanted pregnancy for 3 weeks and allows you to have periods at the wonted time. Like the combination-pill it is safe for non smoking women under 35 years of age. It may not be the best option for women with tendency to blood clotting and certain cancers.

Diaphragm
Popular brands are Ortho All-Flex, SILCS, Milex Wide Seal, Semina
Diaphragms are dome shaped and made of rubber. They cover the cervix and prevent the sperm from entering the uterus. Diaphragms are not completely safe and need to be used in combination with a spermicidal gel. They need to be fitted by a heath professional. Diaphragms need to be refitted with change of weight of more than 10 pounds. This is not the right choice for women with fluctuating weight. Women prone to bladder infections need to consider another option.

Intrauterine Device (IUD)
Popular brands are Paragard and Mirena.
Paragard is surgically implanted and are made of copper. It forms a barrier and prevents the sperm from fertilizing the egg. Mirena however works by releasing hormones and also needs to be surgically implanted. Both these devices work effectively for 10 years and are 99% effective. The removal cost can be up to $500. IUDs are not recommended for women who have not given birth. Expansion of the uterus at the time of implanting an IUD can be painful for such women. It is a long term solution, so if you plan to have children, it is not the correct solution.

Patch
Popular brands is Ortho Evra and Silvia
The patch works for a week. It releases hormones into the blood stream through the skin. It is worn on the buttock, arm, or abdomen. It is not safe for women prone to blood clots. The patch delivers 60% more estrogen than low-dose pills.

Implants
Popular brands are Norplant and Implanon
Implants are completely safe. They are implanted under the skin on the arm and are about the size of a matchstick. The cost is around $800 and work for three years. It may not be the right choice for overweight women and those taking St. John’s wort.

Sterilization
The three procedures of sterilization are Tubal ligation, Essure or vasectomy
Tubal ligation is a surgical procedure which involves blocking off the fallopian tubes from carrying the ovum to the uterus. Tubal implant also called Essure is a non surgical option. In this technique a small coil is inserted into the fallopian tubes. Both these procedures are for women. In men the procedure is called vasectomy. It is a minor surgical procedure involving cutting of the tubes carrying the sperm from the testicles. It is not a reversible procedure.

Excessive Masturbation - Help I am addicted



I would like to share the story of a young man addicted to masturbation and the psychological effect the addiction was having on him. It is my strong belief that man has made life very difficult for himself by setting up unnatural norms of behavior. The primary function of any living organism is to procreate and multiply. When a plant is ready to multiply there are no social or economic factors stopping it from doing this. When an animal in the wild is ready to procreate there is nothing stopping it from doing so. All it has to do is find a suitable and willing mate. Of course unlike humans, an animal in the wild has to prove its physical superiority over others competing for the same mate. Humans however place societal rules based on mostly economic factors ahead of laws of nature. Is it sensible for holding back the primary urge and duty of any human being from being fulfilled? This brings in its wake unnatural behavior. Young men (and women) not being able to satisfy the urges, when the energy is at its peak, turn to porn and masturbation. There are no monkeys who enjoy seeing others mate. I don’t think a monkey jerks-off. Monkeys, unlike humans have ample opportunity to indulge in healthy sexual activity with a number of mates during their life. Such restraint brings in its wake many untold sorrows.

This is the story of a young man aged 29 and the advice he got. I think it is a story I should share as it brings out the inner struggles that many face, caught up in addictions of one kind or another. This young man was caught up in an addiction to masturbation but the story holds true for any kind of addiction. This is his story:

I am 29 years and am part of the Krishna Consciousness movement for over 10 years. I am able to increase my chanting to up to 16 rounds but cannot sustain it at that level. I interact with other devotees at times but not as often as I should. I attribute my unsocial behavior to my habit of masturbation. I got involved in the Krishna Consciousness movement for divine guidance. Some time back I gave up hope completely and stopped coming to the prayer meetings. Then I faced some issues in my life which I was unable to handle so I went back to the temple. This time around I tried to be even more sincere but have failed. This has not happened man times in the past 10 years. All through these years I have been watching porn and masturbating. I am unable to share this with anyone around me although I need help. Also I feel no one would understand. I feel very sad and hate myself. I know that the lord is with me and is guiding me but I keep failing. I am asking for your help, please guide me get out of this miserable habit which is ruining me physically, mentally and spiritually.

Here is the advice he got from someone more experienced:

I was in the same trap and have successfully kicked the habit and would like to help you. Let us take it one step at a time. We need to understand some basics before we can progress. Our actions are the outcome of our thinking process. Let us not focus on the action but the thought behind the action. Therefore the first step in controlling your action is to control your thought process. Secondly our mind produces thoughts randomly but we filter these thoughts through our intellect. We cannot stop the thoughts which have been part of us for so many years but we can start choosing them intelligently. So we need to make a conscious effort to pick the correct thoughts. Thirdly our thoughts are dependent on our senses (indriyan). Indriyan are described in Hindu literature as touch, smell, taste, sight and smell. The nature of the mind is to wonder. But the more successful have a control over this wandering nature of the mind. Rishis and the more enlightened souls also face this but they control it with their will and use their intellect to choose the right path. So we need to control what we see, touch and feel and what we do with every thought before translating it into action. Here are some suggestions for you to work on.

If you watch porn then install a filter and make a pact with yourself not to watch it any more. Change the route you take if you are used to buying X rated stuff from somewhere on your way. Try and stay away from everything that can excite such thoughts. Try not to watch movies with simple kissing scenes. Stay away from friends who like to discuss stuff that can excite you sexually. This is about taking care of what you see, hear and see. Now let us talk about developing a stronger intellect.

Read some scripture for at least 20 minutes every day and implement its lessons in your life. You do go to the temple and chant Hare Krishna for an hour every day. The question is what about the other 23 hours. Try and use the same chanting and recreate the temple in your mind. Every time you have the urge remind yourself that the pleasure is short lived and you will have to deal with a lot of sorrow. Involve yourself in physical activity. Do yoga, meditation or lay a sport. Remember god helps those… you cannot just keep chanting without taking ownership of your actions. Match your commitment with your karma. You can succeed only with determination and commitment. Remember you have won half the battle by acknowledging that you do have this addiction. Don’t give in and never think you can’t do it. You are strong and you will do it.

What is Erectile Dysfunction and What Causes Erectile Dysfunction?


Erectile Dysfunction, ED or Impotence is the inability of a man to have a sustained erection firm and long enough for successful sexual intercourse. Unlike modern medicine traditional Indian and Chinese systems of medicine consider ED to be the symptom of some underlying disease or disorder. Erectile Dysfunction could show early in psychological disorders. On the physiological side Erectile Dysfunction may manifest itself in early cardiac problems, diabetes, high cholesterol, metabolic disorders and in early stages of other disease processes. Often ED is a precursor to a non-diagnosed disease or disorder. ED is nothing more than the body either trying to conserve energy and sometimes it could have its origins in reduced blood flow to the penis. Erectile Dysfunction also sometimes manifests in old bachelors or other men due to unfulfilled desire. Therefore maintaining a healthy sex life is the best preventive treatment for ED.

In most physically healthy men ED is the result of s psychological issue. It could be false concerns about ageing or performance anxiety. Sexual function is affected in some men when they are with a partner. This can often be the result of excessive exposure to porn and self gratification and sometimes because of a previous episode of failure. It may also affect a man due to over indulgence.
